Do you use plastic, urethane or weak resin ball for spare pickup in your game on THS

[swingset]

I use plastic on any spare outside the oil, on any shot THS or not.

I use an Ebonite Maxim(polyester) spare ball on all leaves on right side but the 3-6-9-10.

I use my Blue Hammer with 4000 Abralon surface for every shot, strike or spare shooting. I know you are supposed to use a plastic ball for spares but I seem to do okay with my Blue Hammer urethane. What about you?

I also use a Blue Hammer - not sure what surface he put on it last time!
I hear people say you should use a non-reactive ball for spares and I prefer this method personally.
However, if you have a shot you know you can rely on, then why not use it? Obviously, a straighter shot at corner pins is better, and a less reactive ball is the go for that.

I use the one ball I have that's currently drilled for me, my hammer brick. I do have another I need to take in for drilling, but that's a reactive strike ball as well, so not much difference really, I'm getting pretty consistent on 10's by flattening out my hand (I'd say around 8/10 conversions currently), much better than last year anyway.

Corner pins with Plastic, anything in the middle with strike ball. Still have to be real careful with plastic since I can get to much back end hook if the lanes get real dry.

I was using a sling shot, but have had even better luck with my new DV8 Lemon Drop! I went up to 16lbs and for some reason its much more accurate! I seem to be less likely to bring my arm/hand across my body with the extra pound! I also throw with palm up release.
